    Thanks. Very helpful. Looking for one at the moment. Ground clearance is a problem I hadn't thought of.

    I find that if you tilt the machine 45 degrees anti clock wise, you are not cutting across the fibres so much, but more along the length of the plant. That seems to help get through the tougher stuff. Also, if you are using an auto feed head, it helps to keep tapping the head, so the line is fed out quite regularly. This helps prevent the cord breaking where is leaves the head. Hope that's useful.

    Where are you? I have a couple of different mowers, flail, and rotary, that would get on top of it. Cheers.

    A pony pulling a log is very effective,

    Where are you? I have a very effective walk behind flail mower that I use in my woods. Once the bigger stuff is removed by the flail, I use my 3ft Scag mower. V powerful, and easy to manoeuvre around the trees! I'm in Somerset.

    Sounds like wood pasture to me. My understanding of agroforestry is that it's for a mix of food and timber.

    Really well, and it suckers a lot too. It's a pleasure to work with laying, but a pain in the arse to split for logs!
  8. Stoke Wood Project
    Nice, but I like a combination can that's transparent plastic, so you can see if you've put the 2 stroke in yet!

    There's no such thing as a chainsaw ' licence ' There is a certificate of competence, for different skills. Having a certificate does not necessarily imply appropriate experience. I know folk who have used a saw for 30 years. They are very competent, but don't have a ticket. I know plenty of people with a ticket, and very little competence. Cheers.

    Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
  12. Stoke Wood Project
    Oh yes. I'll try to upload that to my brain for future reference!
  13. Stoke Wood Project
    Yeah, might it be possible to see a picture? You might get a nice bit of timber out of the tree??

    I have read recent research looking into the link between ivy and host trees. I think it was saying that the relationship is one more symbiotic, rather than parasitic. As said above, ivy could compromise a weak tree. I see trees with the ivy cut, and I feel sad for the loss of habitat, and loss of an important late food source for the birdies. Need a picture to identify the tree though. Maybe pick of a leaf from under the tree and post a pic, as well as one of the tree. Cheers

    Cut with a circular saw first, then finish the cut with a handsaw. You'll be surprised how accurate it is. I do that all the time on posts. Remember that if your circular saw usually cuts 4 inches perpendicular to the timber, then the steeper the angle, the shallower it cuts. Cheers

    Pooping in?? :-S

    Might need a couple of guys on Friday, for a day, Rhody bashing. It's not too bad, we've been at it all week. Pm me if you're interested. Might be a bit more in early March. It's near Axminster. Cheers.
  19. Stoke Wood Project
    Hi Will. If you have an idea of what you want for the lot, then pm me. Cheers. I'm not too far from you.
  20. Stoke Wood Project
    Where are you. I know someone in Somerset who might be able to help. Cheers
  21. Stoke Wood Project
    Thanks Bob. V helpful.
  22. Stoke Wood Project
    Hi Jon. Yeah, me too. Perhaps we ought to have a 'rate my dealer' thread on here! Might sharpen them up a bit??
  23. Stoke Wood Project
    Thanks 54gka. Might lean on the dealer a bit then. It's Radmore and Tucker, so it might be hard to get much out of them.
  24. Stoke Wood Project
    Can't remember if they come with a 1 or 2 yr guarantee? Anyone?
  25. Stoke Wood Project
    Yup. Will miss the heated handles if I can't get it started!! Will take the plug out tonight, let it breathe a bit, then try and fire it up in the morning.
